SPECIAL SESSION
IN OKLAHOMA IS
FORMALLY CALLED
'To Investigate Offenses by State Of
ficers Subject to Impeach
ment." Will Not Wait.
Oklahoma Cit; Oct. 5. A call for
a special session of both houses of
the Oklahoma legislature on October
IT to investigate "the commission of
impeachable offenses by the officers
of the state subject to impeachment"'
was issued here tonight by W. D. M. Bee,
state representatives from
Stephens county.
The call was made
leged authority of a
amendment approved
Tuesday by citizens
under the al
constitutional at the polls
of the state.
The summons points out that it was
issued upon "written request signed
by a majority of the members of the
hemse of representatives asking that
the legislature be convened pursuant
to the mandate of the people."
In issuing the call, members of the
house who have opposed Governor
J. C. Walton, determined not to
await the outcome of an injunction
action instituted by the executive to
prevent the state election board from
certifying the returns of Tuesdays
election to the secretary of state.
They proceeded on the theory that
a majority of the votes cast having
been in favor of the amendment, it
became law without the formality of
certification, which they declared
was mere routine without signifi
cance in law.
They cited as precedent for their
stand the action of N. C. Haskell,
first governor of 'the state, who
moved the capital to Oklahoma City
from Guthrie in 1!hj7. before the re
turns had been certified from an
ele-e-ion on an initiated measure pro
viding for the removal. Mr. Haskell
on the afternoon of the election,
when it became apparent that the'
viziers favetred the change, put the
great seal of the state in his suit
case and brought it to Oklahoma City
notifying all state officials to be on
duty the next morning in the new
capital. The former governor's ac
tion was sustained in the court, ac
cording to Ross Lillare, state sena
